Get a Block

Retrieves the Block information for a given block identifier including a list of all transactions in the block.

Request Body — REQUIRED
network_identifier object — REQUIRED The network_identifier specifies which network a particular object is associated with. blockchain string — REQUIRED Blockchain name network string — REQUIRED If a blockchain has a specific chain-id or network identifier, it should go in this field. It is up to the client to determine which network-specific identifier is mainnet or testnet. sub_network_identifier object In blockchains with sharded state, the SubNetworkIdentifier is required to query some object on a specific shard. This identifier is optional for all non-sharded blockchains. network string — REQUIRED Network name metadata object Meta data from subnetwork identifier producer string — REQUIRED producer
block_identifier object — REQUIRED When fetching data by BlockIdentifier, it may be possible to only specify the index or hash. If neither property is specified, it is assumed that the client is making a request at the current block.

Responses
200 Success Schema — OPTIONAL block object — OPTIONAL Blocks contain an array of Transactions that occurred at a particular BlockIdentifier. A hard requirement for blocks returned by Rosetta implementations is that they MUST be inalterable: once a client has requested and received a block identified by a specific BlockIndentifier, all future calls for that same BlockIdentifier must return the same block contents. block_identifier object The block_identifier uniquely identifies a block in a particular network. hash string This is also known as the block hash. index integer This is also known as the block height. parent_block_identifier object The block_identifier uniquely identifies a block in a particular network. index integer This is also known as the block height. hash string Block hash timestamp integer The timestamp of the block in milliseconds since the Unix Epoch. The timestamp is stored in milliseconds because some blockchains produce blocks more often than once a second. transactions object[] All the transactions in the block transaction_identifier object The transaction_identifier uniquely identifies a transaction in a particular network and block or in the mempool. hash string Any transactions that are attributable only to a block (ex: a block event) should use the hash of the block as the identifier. operations object[] List of operations operation_identifier object The operation_identifier uniquely identifies an operation within a transaction. index integer The operation index is used to ensure each operation has a unique identifier within a transaction. This index is only relative to the transaction and NOT GLOBAL. The operations in each transaction should start from index 0. To clarify, there may not be any notion of an operation index in the blockchain being described. network_index integer — OPTIONAL Some blockchains specify an operation index that is essential for client use. For example, Bitcoin uses a network_index to identify which UTXO was used in a transaction. network_index should not be populated if there is no notion of an operation index in a blockchain (typically most account-based blockchains). related_operations object[] — OPTIONAL Restrict referenced related_operations to identifier indexes < the current operation_identifier.index. This ensures there exists a clear DAG-structure of relations. Since operations are one-sided, one could imagine relating operations in a single transfer or linking operations in a call tree. index integer Describes the index of related operation. network_index integer — OPTIONAL Some blockchains specify an operation index that is essential for client use. network_index should not be populated if there is no notion of an operation index in a blockchain (typically most account-based blockchains). type string The network-specific type of the operation. Ensure that any type that can be returned here is also specified in the NetworkStatus. This can be very useful to downstream consumers that parse all block data. status string — OPTIONAL The network-specific status of the operation. Status is not defined on the transaction object because blockchains with smart contracts may have transactions that partially apply. Blockchains with atomic transactions (all operations succeed or all operations fail) will have the same status for each operation. account object — OPTIONAL The account_identifier uniquely identifies an account within a network. All fields in the account_identifier are utilized to determine this uniqueness (including the metadata field, if populated). address string The address may be a cryptographic public key (or some encoding of it) or a provided username. sub_account object — OPTIONAL An account may have state specific to a contract address (ERC-20 token) and/or a stake (delegated balance). The sub_account_identifier should specify which state (if applicable) an account instantiation refers to. address string The address may be a cryptographic public key (or some encoding of it) or a provided username. metadata object — OPTIONAL If the SubAccount address is not sufficient to uniquely specify a SubAccount, any other identifying information can be stored here. It is important to note that two SubAccounts with identical addresses but differing metadata will not be considered equal by clients. metadata object — OPTIONAL Blockchains that utilize a username model (where the address is not a derivative of a cryptographic public key) should specify the public key(s) owned by the address in metadata. amount object — OPTIONAL Amount is some Value of a Currency. It is considered invalid to specify a Value without a Currency. value string Value of the transaction in atomic units represented as an arbitrary-sized signed integer. For example, 1 BTC would be represented by a value of 100000000. currency object Currency is composed of a canonical Symbol and Decimals. This Decimals value is used to convert an Amount.Value from atomic units (Satoshis) to standard units (Bitcoins). symbol string Canonical symbol associated with a currency. decimals integer Number of decimal places in the standard unit representation of the amount. For example, BTC has 8 decimals. Note that it is not possible to represent the value of some currency in atomic units that is not base 10. metadata object — OPTIONAL Any additional information related to the currency itself. For example, it would be useful to populate this object with the contract address of an ERC-20 token. metadata object — OPTIONAL coin_change object — OPTIONAL CoinChange is used to represent a change in state of a some coin identified by a coin_identifier. This object is part of the Operation model and must be populated for UTXO-based blockchains. Coincidentally, this abstraction of UTXOs allows for supporting both account-based transfers and UTXO-based transfers on the same blockchain (when a transfer is account-based, don't populate this model). coin_identifier object CoinIdentifier uniquely identifies a Coin. identifier string Identifier should be populated with a globally unique identifier of a Coin. In Bitcoin, this identifier would be transaction_hash:index. coin_action string Possible values: [coin_created, coin_spent] CoinActions are different state changes that a Coin can undergo. When a Coin is created, it is coin_created. When a Coin is spent, it is coin_spent. It is assumed that a single Coin cannot be created or spent more than once. metadata object — OPTIONAL Operations Meta Data metadata object — OPTIONAL Transactions that are related to other transactions (like a cross-shard transaction) should include the tranaction_identifier of these transactions in the metadata. memo string — OPTIONAL STX token transfer memo. size integer — OPTIONAL The Size lockTime integer — OPTIONAL The locktime metadata object — OPTIONAL meta data transactions_root string difficulty string other_transactions object[] — OPTIONAL Some blockchains may require additional transactions to be fetched that weren't returned in the block response (ex: block only returns transaction hashes). For blockchains with a lot of transactions in each block, this can be very useful as consumers can concurrently fetch all transactions returned. hash string Any transactions that are attributable only to a block (ex: a block event) should use the hash of the block as the identifier.
400 Error Schema — OPTIONAL code integer Code is a network-specific error code. If desired, this code can be equivalent to an HTTP status code. message string Message is a network-specific error message. The message MUST NOT change for a given code. In particular, this means that any contextual information should be included in the details field. retriable boolean An error is retriable if the same request may succeed if submitted again. details object — OPTIONAL Often times it is useful to return context specific to the request that caused the error (i.e. a sample of the stack trace or impacted account) in addition to the standard error message. address string — OPTIONAL error string — OPTIONAL
